Salos vs. the Belle of the Ball

(Blaze Daggers -roll 82, 88, 46, 89- 2 Success, 1 Crit Success and 1 Crit Fail!)

Salos accidentally dropped one of his daggers on his foot but the rest managed to land clean hits on Belle.

"You've been holding out on me." Belle teased as she patted out the flames on her skirt.



Salos: 18 Willpower + Charmed
Belle: 11 Stamina

“Yes, but so have you. I hope you can forgive me for not telling you that or a few other things.” he said as he summoned a bow and aimed.

(Blazing bullseye)

(Blazing Bullseye -roll 71- Fail!)
(Inside Step -roll 26- Success! Stun -roll 32- Success1)

Belle sidestepped the projectile and rushed Salos. She stepped between his legs and pressed her thigh against his manhood. "Don't worry. Soon you'll be telling me ev~ery~thing about you."


Salos: 15 Willpower + Stunned
Belle: 11 Stamina

“Ummmmm” he couldn’t talk as he moaned girlishly from her teasing.

(Wing -roll 27- Fail!)

"You're so fun to tease, Salos." Belle said with a laugh as she took a step back and let him regain his composure."

“Belle, you really are interesting. Normally Midara drive me batty, but I have been having a fun time with you.” he comments. “But that doesn’t mean I will hold back against you. I’m not looking to be a boy toy or a dress up doll again.” he said, summoning chains to bind her.

(Firebind)

(Firebind -roll 56- Success!)
(Struggle -roll 48- Success!)

The burning chains hit the dancer, but she managed to avoid getting tangled up in them.

"That almost sounds like you're challenging me to, Salos." Belle teased.



Salos: 15 Willpower
Belle: 10 Stamina

“I don’t think so.” he says as he tries to bind her again. 

(Fire Bind)

(Fire Bind -roll 33- Fail!)
(Double Time -roll 6- Crit Success!)

"I think you are, cutie." Belle said as dodged his chains. The dancer then began to rapidly tap her foot to a rhythm only she could hear.


Salos: 15 Willpower
Belle: 10 Stamina + Double Time(3)

“That can’t be good.” he said as he aimed another arrow at her.

(Blazing bullseye)

(Blazing Bullseye -roll 24- Success!)
(Wing -roll 95- Crit Fail!)
(Wing -roll 16- Success!)

The arrow struck Belle, who screamed in panic as her dress ignited. She patted herself down until she was no longer on fire.

Salos blinked and she was gone. He shivered as he suddenly felt her breath on the back of his neck.

"You know, you're really good at getting me all hot and bothered, Salos." Belle told him as she finished circling him.


Salos: 14 Willpower + Charmed
Belle: 7 Stamina + Double Time(2) + Burned (3)

“Ok. Please get serious Belle. You can’t win.” he said, wanting for her next attack.

(Inside Step -roll 83- Fail!)
(Gancho -roll 64- Success!)

"Is that so?" Belle asked as she approached. Salos managed to keep her from slipping between his legs again, but could stop her from pulling him close and hooking a leg around his waist to keep him from getting away.


Salos: 11 Willpower + Bound
Belle: 6 Stamina + Double Time(1) + Burned (2)

Salos was surprised when she pulled him in close. He was now blushing like she was before.

"What's the matter, Salos?" Belle asked, her breathing noticeably heavier than it was before. "Where did all that fire from before go?"


Salos: 9 Willpower + Weak-Bind
Belle: 5 Stamina + Tired(2) + Burned (1)

“I still have it. I guessed I just felt a little regret about having to disappoint you. I actually liked you.” he said, with a slight twinge of sadness in his voice.

"I like you too." Belle admitted. "That's why I want to to keep giving me your best until the very end! The finale is almost here, don't get weak knees now."


Salos: 8 Willpower + Weak-Bind
Belle: 4 Stamina + Tired(1)

“Ok. Show me your best first and I will go all out.” he said as he attempted to pull away. 

(Struggle)

(Struggle -Auto-)

"I already did, Salos." Belle said as he shoved her away. "Or did you miss me dancing circles around you?"

Salos: 8 Willpower
Belle: 4 Stamina

“Very well. I will show this to you, but only because it would be fair.” he said as he charged his power.

(Flame charge)

(Flame Charge -roll 26- Success!)
(Inside Step -roll 73- Fail!)

Salos was engulfed in a flaming aura, and the intense heat of it prevented Belle from getting too close.

"Oh my, is it getting hot in here, or is it just you?" Belle asked as she started to fan herself with her hand.


Salos: 8 Willpower + Flame Charge(3)
Belle: 4 Stamina

“Sorry, but this ends now.” he said, launching into a barrage of attacks.

(Trueflame dance)

(Trueflame Dance -roll 68, 92, 77, 5, 5, 33, 89, 83- 1 Success 3 Fail 1 Crit Success and 3 Crit Fail!)

Salos rushed Belle and the to entered into a high speed dance. The pyromancer took an early lead, but the dancer was in her element. She gracefully dodged most of his blows while gently caressing her partner and even planting a kiss on his cheek.



Salos: 5 Willpower + Flame Charge(1)
Belle: 2 Stamina

Salos charged her again in another dance of blades. 

(Trueflame dance)

(Trueflame Dance -roll 61, 43, 34, 55, 40, 40, 79, 7- 3 Success, 4 Fail and 1 Crit Fail!)

The pair entered their final waltz. Belle did her best to keep pace, but her exhaustion was starting to catch up with her. She missed a step and was suddenly at the mercy of Salos' dance.

When it came to an end, Belle collapsed against Salos, unable to stand on her own any longer. "Wonderful." she whispered as she closed her eyes.

(Belle has been defeated!)
